Abstract
Poor interfacial adhesion between basalt fibers and epoxy resin significantly limits the mechanical performance of basalt fiber/resin composites. However, current modification methods with high interfacial property enhancement involve harsh experimental conditions and expensive modifiers. In this study, a mild dual directional modification strategy is proposed, utilizing a tannic acid-based modifier TAP that simultaneously modified the resin and basalt fiber, and the dual directionally modified composites TAP-ABF/TAP@EP is prepared. This approach not only improves interfacial adhesion but also promotes stress dispersion and energy dissipation within the composites, leading to a substantial enhancement in mechanical properties. Compared with unmodified BF/EP, the interfacial shear strength, interlaminar shear strength, flexural strength and impact strength of TAP-ABF/TAP@EP were improved by 97.5%, 75.5%, 78.8% and 87.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the mechanisms of the enhanced interfacial adhesion and mechanical properties were thoroughly investigated. This work provides a simple yet effective bidirectional modification strategy, offering a promising pathway for developing high-performance basalt fiber/epoxy composites.
